4.1 Material furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of the current edition of
Specification A450/A450M, unless otherwise provided herein.
5. Manufacture
5.1 Tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall
be either hot-finished or cold-finished, as specified.

8. Product Analysis
8.1 When requested on the purchase order, a product analysis shall be made by the supplier from one tube per 100 pieces
for sizes over 3 in. [76.2 mm] and one tube per 250 pieces for
sizes 3 in. [76.2 mm] and under; or when tubes are identified
by heat, one tube per heat shall be analyzed. The chemical
composition thus determined shall conform to the requirements
specified.
8.2 If the original test for product analysis fails, retests of
two additional billets or tubes shall be made. Both retests, for
the elements in question, shall meet the requirements of the
specification; otherwise all remaining material in the heat or lot
(see Note 1) shall be rejected or, at the option of the producer,
each billet or tube may be individually tested for acceptance.
Billets or tubes which do not meet the requirements of the
specification shall be rejected.
NOTE 1A lot consists of 250 tubes for sizes 3 in. [76.2 mm] and under
and of 100 tubes for sizes over 3 in. [76.2 mm], prior to cutting to length.
9. Hardness Requirements
9.1 The tubes shall have a hardness number not exceeding
the following:
Brinell Hardness Number (Tubes
0.200 in. [5.1 mm] and over in
wall thickness)
137 HB
77 HRB
10.2 Flaring TestOne flaring test shall be made on specimens from each end of two tubes selected from each lot (see
Note 1) or fraction thereof. These tubes shall be selected apart
from those used for the flattening test.
10.3 Hardness TestBrinell or Rockwell hardness tests
shall be made on specimens from two tubes from each lot. The
term lot applies to all tubes prior to cutting, of the same
nominal diameter and wall thickness which are produced from
the same heat of steel. When final heat treatment is in a
batch-type furnace, a lot shall include only those tubes of the
same size and the same heat which are heat treated in the same
furnace charge. When the final heat treatment is in a continuous
furnace, a lot shall include all tubes of the same size and heat,
heat treated in the same furnace at the same temperature, time
at heat, and furnace speed.
10.4 Hydrostatic TestEach tube shall be subjected to the
hydrostatic pressure test, or instead of this test, a nondestructive test may be used when specified by the purchaser.
11. Forming Operations
11.1 Tubes when inserted in the boiler shall stand expanding
and beading without showing cracks or flaws. Superheater
tubes when properly manipulated shall stand all forging,
welding, and bending operations necessary for application
without developing defects.
12. Product Marking
12.1 In addition to the marking prescribed in Specification
A450/A450M, the marking shall indicate whether the tube is
hot finished or cold finished.
13. Keywords
13.1 boiler tubes; seamless steel tube; steel tube-carbon
